Junior School Running Training – Registrations Now Open!
To help students prepare for the Oxley Junior School Cross Country Carnival later this term, we are offering Running Training for Years 3 to 6. Sessions will take place on Wednesday mornings from 7:40–8:30am at Oxley, starting in Week 3.
These sessions focus on building endurance, improving running technique, and fostering a love for fitness. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Parents will be notified if their child’s registration is successful.
Further details and a registration link for this opportunity will be shared early this week.

We are excited to share the 2025 Junior School Sports Booklet, which will be released during Week 3. This booklet will outline the structure of Junior School Sport across both the Summer and Winter seasons, including key dates, team arrangements, and training schedules.
Students from Kindergarten to Year 6 will also have the opportunity to select their sport preference for the upcoming Winter season (Terms 2 and 3). More details will be shared soon.
